Outlier Ventures was the worlds largest web3 startup accelerator. Now, we fund agentic systems directly and are building the open protocols needed to coordinate capital, work, and ownership in the era they enable. Founded in 2014, we backed the first known DeAI and DePIN investments — Fetch.ai and IOTA — years before those categories had names. Today, with 400+ portfolio companies, were building the next chapter. The Post Web Our flagship thesis argues the browser-mediated internet is disappearing — not gradually, but structurally.

Fetch.ai is a decentralized network built to power autonomous AI agents that can discover, connect, collaborate, and transact with other agents seamlessly. The Fetch.ai ecosystem enables developers and users alike to build intelligent, self-operating systems that interact across the digital and real world. At the core of the platform are three integrated products: ASI:One: A family of agentic LLMs that interact with agents from Agentverse to expand their capabilities and perform real-world reasoning. ASI:One includes models like asi1-mini for fast, operational tasks and asi1-extended for deeper, complex reasoning. These models communicate via multi-agent protocols and scale by invoking services from the broader agent network. Agentverse: A developer platform designed for full control and extensibility. Built on the uAgents framework, Agentverse allows developers to create, host, and register agents that are interoperable across the Fetch.ai ecosystem. It provides built-in support for agent-to-agent messaging, payments, discovery, and deep ASI:One integration. Flockx: A no-code agent studio that lets users create personal or business agents without writing code. Flockx offers consumer-facing simplicity, and includes a professional Workbench for small businesses and teams looking to operationalize agent-based workflows. Agents created via Flockx are automatically indexed by ASI:One and published to Agentverse. Together, these components form a composable AI layer where intelligent agents can operate autonomously, reason with large models, and plug into business workflows, decentralized apps, and real-world systems.
